Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : So it's no surprise Republican candidates are not shouting anti-abortion diatribes from the rooftops.
38% : Between June 24, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and tossed a constitutional right to abortion, and a mid-July registration deadline, 33,000 Kansans registered to vote.
37% : Young Iowans have the most to lose if abortion is effectively banned.
31% : Reynolds has asked a state court to lift an injunction blocking enforcement of a six week abortion ban, picking a slow boat through the courts instead of a special legislative session that would have shined a glaring spotlight on the issue.
26% : What we do know is if voters don't deliver change, Reynolds, the GOP Legislature and a conservative state Supreme Court will yank away the rights of Iowans who want to make difficult, personal medical decisions without government interference.
19% : Although abortion was a big issue in several GOP primaries, GOP general election hopefuls are emphasizing economic issues while arguing all Democrats are Joe Biden.
